I dipped my fingers into delicious, passionate romance a couple evenings at Pennsic. Not the sort of enchanted moment that guarantees anything solid or permanent = life isn't that simple. A glorious romance by moonlight. Still, I did get to kiss someone and whisper poetry to them, and it fed my soul ( Read more... )
